Can I put peppermint oil on transplanted hair after 3 weeks?

Yeah34Mar 1, 2019
Hello, I have been transplanted since 3 weeks and in order to favor regrowth and enjoy the other benefits on the scalp I would like to put some peppermint oil on my whole head and so in the transplanted hair (3-8 drops of peppermint oil mixed with a tbsp of coconut or jojoba or olive oil 6x per weeks) as replacement of minoxidil as i don't want to make my hair addicted and dependant on minox. Is it okay after 3 weeks of transplant? Will the hair be strong enough?

Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor area (where it was taken). If it all goes to plan the donor hairs will grow in the area it was transplanted. Scalp ...

It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.

It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination so you can better understand realistic outcomes after your doctor has a chance to listen to your exact goals.

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.
